1995 DODGE NEON Complaints

THE PCM ON MY 1995 DODGE NEON WAS REPLACED ON JUNE 16, 1994, 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. DONE BY JAY CHEVROLET/GEO/DODGE IN ISLAND PARK, NY. MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING ON ME AND SHUTTING DOWN OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. I SPENT OVER $4000 TO HAVE PARTS REPLACED AND THE CAR STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. I WANT MY CAR CHECKED COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE. IT HAS ONLY 110K AND IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR SINCE DAY ONE. MY BROTHER IS A MECHANIC IN OCEANSIDE, NY AND HAS BEEN MY MECHANIC SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW UP UNTIL I MOVED TO PHOENIX, AZ AND ALL THE MECHANICS I'VE USED HERE CAN'T FIX MY CAR. THIS IS UNFAIR IF THE PROBLEM IS THE PCM AGAIN. THE CAR HAD COMPLETE DIAGNOSTICS DONE BY 3 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PCM DOES NOT SHOW IN DIAGNOSTICS. P.S. I FILLED OUT MY PERSONAL INFO WITH MY CURRENT ADDRESS BUT WILL BE MOVING ON MAY 12, 2018 TO: 21220 N. 23RD AVE PHOENIX AZ 85027

I HAVE A 1995 DODGE NEON. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION, ETC. AND HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT, ALSO REPLACING MY HEAD GASKET, RESULTING IN A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THEY HAVE SEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE NEON. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD OR CURRENTLY OWN A NEON AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL NOTED ON THE NEON FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR
